    Thank you!

    Edit: What the fuck is wrong with this woman?

    In November, she told reporters after a road game that they could blame her if they were sick at Thanksgiving.

    “I ain’t a sissy,” she said, holding a tissue and choking back sniffles. “I’ve got some kind of cold. It might be covid, but I ain’t testing.”

      That unfortunately seems fairly standard for abusive coaches. It’s like an asshole boss who thinks you should come into work while sick because they do or that you should just walk it off when you get hurt.

      I can’t really comment much on the allegations because the article was ridiculously long and loaded with filler which has zilch to do with the allegations. Speaking of the author’s writing, I do take issue with this:

      Her outfits during games are legendary, and during last year’s NCAA tournament, fans wanted to see Reese and her teammates tear through the bracket, sure.

      What the fuck do her outfits have to do with anything? Did the author just decide to straight follow tvtropes.com and make sure to comment on attire because a woman is involved?

      On one hand, it’s fucked up. On the other hand, kinda standard for a Trumpie (an assumption on my part) with a bit of power
